The multi-loop antenna structure includes a high-frequency radiating body, a low-frequency radiating body, a feeding connecting part and a grounding connecting part. The feeding connecting part electrically connects one terminal of the high-frequency radiating body and one terminal of the low-frequency radiating body to a feeding point. The grounding connecting part grounds the other terminal of the high-frequency radiating body and the other terminal of the low-frequency radiating body. The feeding connecting part forms a first folded loop antenna with the high-frequency radiating body and the grounding connecting part for resonating at a first frequency band.

The hand-held electronic device further includes a printed circuit board and an antenna carrying part in addition to the abovementioned multi-loop antenna structure. The antenna carrying part is coupled to the printed circuit board, and the multi-loop antenna structure is disposed on the antenna carrying part. A first embodiment and a second embodiment are exemplified below.
First Embodiment
Referring to
The first frequency band is a DCS/PCS/UMTS frequency band ranging from 1710 MHz to 2170 MHz. The second frequency band is a GSM frequency band ranging from 824 MHz to 960 MHz. The third frequency band is a GPS frequency band of 1575 MHz. The fourth frequency band is a Bluetooth and wireless network (BT/WIFI) frequency band ranging from 2400 MHz to 2500 MHz. The first folded loop antenna and the second folded loop antenna are perpendicularly folded along the folding line 340, the folding line 350, the folding line 360 and the folding line 370 for forming a three-dimensional structure. The distances d1 and d4 are 5 mm for example, the distance d2 is 11 mm for example, and the distance d3 is 55 mm for example.
Furthermore, the antenna carrying part 320 includes a surface 320 (1), a surface 320 (2), a surface 320 (3) and a surface 320 (4), wherein the surfaces 320 (1), 320 (2), 320 (3) and 320 (4) are not coplanar to each other. The surface 320 (1) is perpendicular to the surfaces 320 (2), 320 (3) and 320 (4), and the surface 320 (4) is perpendicular to the surfaces 320 (1), 320 (2) and 320 (3). The high-frequency radiating body 316 is perpendicularly folded along the folding line 350, so that a part of the high-frequency radiating body 316 is disposed on the surface 320 (1), and another part of the high-frequency radiating body 316 is disposed on surface 320 (2). The low-frequency radiating body 318 is perpendicularly folded along the folding line 360 and the folding line 370, so that a part of the low-frequency radiating body 318 is disposed on surface 320 (2), another part of the low-frequency radiating body 318 is disposed on surface 320 (4), and yet another part of the low-frequency radiating body 318 is disposed on the surface 320 (3). The feeding connecting part 312 is disposed on the surface 320 (2), and the grounding connecting part 314 is disposed on the surface 320 (3). One terminal 380 of the grounding connecting element 3142 and one terminal 390 of the low-frequency radiating body 318 are coupled to each other on the surface 320 (3).
Referring to
The first folded loop antenna 410 corresponds to a generally known planar type first balance antenna 420 of
Referring to
The second folded loop antenna 440 corresponds to the generally known planar type second balance antenna 450 of
Due to the limited space of the portable electronic device and the big size of the loop antenna, the loop antenna was not commonly used in the hand-held electronic device, and the open end type antenna such as the planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) was used instead. According to the image theory, the subject application preferably reduces the length of the loop antenna to be half of its original length, and the reduced loop antenna is further folded as a three-dimensional structure, so that the loop antenna can be disposed on the hand-held device having limited space. As the loop antenna can resonate at the operating frequency of 0.5, 1 and 1.5 times of the wavelength, the subject application can resonate at several frequency bands by using one multi-loop antenna structure only.

Second Embodiment

Thirdly, the multi-loop antenna structure can be folded as a three-dimensional structure and disposed on a hand-held device having limited space.
